Sunuva bitch, i cant win for losing. I drive home to my parents house for thanks giving and get there just fine. No issues whatsoever. I then got my letter of Admission to the college i have wanted to go to since i was a sperm cell. To celebrate, I go and do a little (i mean not even past 4000rpm ) burnout and it now has a hellacious vibration. What the hell did i do? I took a peek at my tires and they are fine and the balance weights are there. I looked at the driveshaft and i see the weights intact and everything. The only thing that im a little leary about is the spray of grease from where the Tranny yoke side U joint has been turning. It was warm and seemed pretty recent. What does this mean?????

 

I don't know about the vibration, but is the grease spray actually grease? If it is, something may have happened to your front u-joint, or maybe the rear seal on your tranny.

 

I'm thinking one of your u-joint sets are giving out.
Be sure to check all of your driveline angles to make sure all angle degrees are within specs as well.

Didn't you just break your drive shaft? Did you replace with a used one?

 

poor beau, my heart goes out to you, i would be thinkin it may be a rear seal on the tranny, what color is the greasy substance?

 

i say burn the truck and buy another to start over with. this one is obviously jinxed.

 

oh and if you take my advice, dont burn the transmission

 

Congrats on the admission!!

 

what all did you replace with the new shaft?

When I destroyed mine, I actually damaged my rear pinion seal. Took along to figure that one out.

 

Funny you bring this up. My replaced driveshaft from the driveshaft explosion in April just had the u-joint go out on Thursday. With the grease you mentioned I would almost bet it's teh ujoint, probably worse when you are on the gas too, right?
